Book 2: Chapter 50
When I returned to the mansion, the Earl was having a late breakfast. The young lady was still asleep, so I had some free time.
The bread just baked this morning had a buttery aroma and looked delicious. The Earl ate the bread with lingonberry jam. I wonder if people who use their heads a lot naturally crave sugar? The Earl always drinks his morning tea with a lot of honey.
Though the Earl did not seem to get fat at all even with all the sugar consumption.
「You were still here, Reiji-san?」
The Earl seemed surprised as I entered the dining room.
「Yes. We’re going to the Holy Royal Palace at noon, correct?」
When I answered, the Earl’s eyes widened, and then he looked at the butler next to him. The butler probably also knows the situation to some extent.
「What about you, Earl? How are you feeling?」
「I am far from feeling perfect, but I am not in a situation where I can sleep comfortably in bed right now.」
